quantum Computer Memory Parts List

Quantum Corporation was founded in 1980 in San Jose, California. The company was started by a group of executives and designers that were former employees at Shugart Associates, IBM, and Memorex. The company started out only manufacturing 8-inch hard drives that were highly sought-after products during the 1980s. The company was headed by James Patterson, who is attributed for Quantum’s exponential growth. By 1984, only 4 years after its founding, Quantum Corporation was a leader in the market for 5.25-inch drives. For the years that followed, Quantum Corporation was very profitable, with revenues that exceeded $1 billion in 1991, a 50 percent increase from the previous year. During the 90s, Quantum continued to expand by acquiring other companies such as ATL Products in 1998 and Meridian Data Incorporated in 1999. In 2000, Quantum sold its hard drive business to Maxtor for a deal that was worth approximately $2 billion dollars. Even though they experienced great profits from the previous years, Quantum believed being a part of Maxtor was a strategic move in becoming a strong competitor leader in the competitive storage market. Today, Quantum is a leader in storage solutions. They provide products and solutions that are used in the following industries: small and medium businesses, media and entertainment, healthcare and life sciences, science and engineering, education, finance, and government. Quantum’s Corporation product lines include the following disk backup systems, tape libraries, cloud services, virtualization backup solutions, NDX NAS and RDX disk solutions, big data management & archiving, stand-alone devices and media, and management & security.
